Presto G. Schrade BPORT CT

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

Presto G. Schrade BPORT CT

New_Windsor_NY suggested I post this here too.
Since I have been frequenting the forums lately I have been pulling out some knives I have. This is an old Presto. It is supposed to flip open with the button but the mechanism is not working. The handles are in really nice shape. The blade not so much.

The reason I "suggested" you post the Schrade Presto pocket knife here
is because this is the Schrade forum. I think it makes sense, but..... ::shrug::

My guess is still the same as I posted in the other thread...

Nice one! Might have a broken/missing the throw spring. Look inside the well, there should be a slightly-curved metal spring sticking up. That is what provides resistance when you close the blade. If you don't have any resistance when closing the blade, that could be the cause...

Nice knife! If you "color" the blade with a #2 pencil, it will remove dirty, grime and rust but will not remove an etch if there is one. 😉
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
